Marz and I worked together at the office. She was my right hand and my good friend. I loved Marz. I will always miss her. Then, now and always.

David, I have many wonderful memories of Auntie Detta bringing Chinese food over in Bellwood and other goodies, lots of smiles and laughter. She was always so full of love and we truly will miss her. Now when I think of her, I see her smiling with Ellen, Nana & Papa, and Auntie Hazel. Lots of love to you.
Your cousin, Judy Anderson
